swim faster!

short run to TA and very short run to the mount line; first time starting with the shoes on the bike; this worked pretty well, except that I forgot to open the straps on the shoes

not much more I can do

I did 47:27 on my last training ride, so I was hoping to at least equal that here; I don't know what happened :(
What would you do differently?:

push harder
Transition 2
  • 01m 20s
Comments:

did a moving dismount; I had never even tried this in training, I don't know where this came from but I hope to keep doing it in the future

the run from dismount was longer here, so the overall time is longer than T1
What would you do differently?:

briefly ran the wrong way but didn't lose more than a few seconds

pushed this about as hard as I could; the uphills were tough, especially the last 1/2 mile including the run up the driveway to the finish chute

a good, smaller race; well run
